Pros

PAREXEL is one of the top CRO's in the world. They have a diverse portfolio of clients and are continuing to grow even in the current recession.

Cons

As with any company with rapid growth, PAREXEL is not without its growing pains. An average case load of 14-20 sites is not uncommon.

Fighting inefficiency with extreme workload

Pros

Lots of nice colleagues. Good salary and benefits.

Cons

This might not apply to all projects but all I could see was extremely under-resourced projects set up in a hurry, using ridiculously useless systems and inefficient processes. You chose between excess overtime (which is not recognized, but considered default) or failure to comply and manage your tasks.
